Ordinary extraordinary women

Over the next 6 months or so, I will be featuring biographical profiles of several ordinary extraordinary women with whom I have been privileged to cross paths.

These women are not celebrities, leading executives or Australians of the Year (that I know of!), and when I asked them to participate they were universally incredulous at my use of the word ‘inspiring’ to describe them. But something about their passions, interests career achievements and approach to life has placed them in that category for me.

These women are down to earth and relatable, diverse in age, occupation and background, and great examples of everyday women who know what they value and have pursued it with determination and excellence.
